Fresno State football fans were injured on Saturday after a coach punched glass out of a press box window and into the stands below. The incident took place at Bulldog Stadium during Fresno State’s win over San Jose State. Fresno State athletic director Terry Tumey confirmed the incident in a statement on Sunday.

“Unfortunately, some fans were injured during last night’s football game as a result of glass that fell after a member of the coaching staff broke the window in the coach’s box above a seating section. We want to emphasize that the safety of our fans is a high priority and the Athletic Department deeply regrets that this incident occurred. A member of the coaching staff has been placed on administrative leave until an investigation has been completed.”

The fans who were injured have not been publicly identified, but Tumey told the Fresno Bee that they are a woman and a young girl. They were treated for lacerations at a local hospital. The extent of their injuries was not reported.

Terry Tumey, the Fresno State Director of Athletics, confirmed in a statement that, “a member of the coaching staff broke the window in the coach’s box above a seating section.”

When the shards of glass fell, fans in the seats below were injured. It’s unclear how many people were injured or the extent of their injuries.

The member of the coaching staff who broke the window has been put on administrative leave.

An investigation is now underway.”

Per the report, the glass in the press box is not tempered. Instead it broke into sharp shards before falling into the stands below, per the report. There’s no report of the coach who broke the glass being injured.

Time to replace the windows with tempered glass.
